assertions without evidence bear no weight.

How many carriers does Russia have? (I'll even let you include the coal-burning ski-jumper one that sinks in drydock!)
How many F22-equivalent aircraft does Russia have? Right, they have a couple Su-57s...that they're scared to fly against Ukraine, much less these US.
What logistical capacity does Russia have? They can barely make it 100 miles across their land border, how are they going to get anything into these US's mainland?
Russia's got a couple subs, all of which are followed by American ones. And we have more left over!
Icebreakers. Ok, we finally found something Russia beats us in. That would be near insignificant in direct hostilities. But Trump is moving to rectify that!

As of 2025, Canada, Finland, and the Scandinavian nations (Denmark, Norway, Sweden) collectively operate between 25 and 30 icebreakers (exact numbers can vary due to fleet changes and seasonal leasing):

Canada: Approximately 18 icebreakers, including medium, light, and heavy classes (most in the Arctic and Atlantic).

Finland: 10 to 12 icebreakers, primarily medium class and used in the Baltic Sea.

Sweden: 5 icebreakers.

Denmark (including Greenland): 3 to 7 icebreakers, mostly light icebreakers.

Norway: 1 or 2 dedicated icebreaking vessels.

Russia has—by far—the world’s largest icebreaker fleet, with approximately 47 to 57 active icebreakers (including both nuclear-powered and diesel-electric vessels), plus more under construction. Numbers include at least 8 nuclear and around 34 diesel icebreakers, along with other classes.
